Before Germany’s last elections, hundreds of combustion-engine cars had been vandalised, combined with pro-Green flyers left on site. State investigators now assume a Russian influence operation:

Ermittler vermuten Russland hinter Bauschaum-Attacken auf Autos
Hunderte Autos wurden vor einem Jahr in mehreren Bundesländern mit Bauschaum beschädigt. Die Ermittler gehen derzeit davon aus, dass damit die Grünen vor der Wahl diskreditiert werden sollten.

Now that COP30 has ended as a COP-tastrophe (thanks Drilled Media) and this despite the UNEP clearly outlining that in order to remain below 2ºC will require that emissions fall by ~5% PER YEAR beginning now. What are the emissions projections for 2025? Given all this, it is little wonder that Dr James Hansen in […]

The described and drawn ideas revolved around greater play areas, music, community food (even a free Michelin star restaurant for locals!), spaces to relax in, and greater green spaces.
Also included were ideas for inventions like kinetic floor tiles which produce energy through jumping on them.

From superblocks to energy-producing floor tiles (and even a free Michelin restaurant!), they came up with wonderfully fresh ideas. 🌱

Fact check: Do renewables really make electricity grids less reliable?
In Germany, power availability to homes and businesses has increased over the years – even as the share of renewables has climbed.

The latest Doctor I’ve had to visit was a delight- she realised my German wasn’t completely fluent and so we switched to French as her Spanish wasn’t great- a smattering of English, quick return to German at the end and then an Arabic farewell! And hopefully a full treatment plan!
